Re: paper: 2014 HOT Tech Notes

When some teams are in t-bones, their robot vibrates and shakes as its pushed sideways from the wheels getting and then losing traction with the ground, and it's almost impossible to get out of these pins. From what I've seen, it happens to robots that don't rock, like swerve (4 wheels in contact at all times) and 8WD (4 wheels in contact at all times).

I agree that avoiding defense is pretty important. We had issues with getting pushed in circles from the side and we had a traction limited 6 CIM drive with 2" wide McMaster blue nitrile tread on our wheels, like 254 does. 254 weighed well under 120 lbs, but didn't have too many defense issues because they were very smart drivers. 118 had a similar strategy. They were geared VERY high and had a single speed gearbox that would most likely trip breakers very quickly if they got into a pushing match, but they focused on avoiding defense, and it worked pretty well for them.
